Vor 503 Supermoto- any opinions?
A Vor 503 supermoto just came up for sale near me. Looks like a pretty cool bike. Anybody have any experience with these bikes or this company? I wasn't previously familiar with the marque.

NX650-what should I look out for?
I'll most likely be trading a guy and acquiring his 1988 Honda NX650 Dominator. Can anyone give me some tips on what specific things to check/look out/listen for, etc. in looking the bike over?
